Shurley English is a wonderful curriculum! English concepts are set to music and children love learning while they sing. It helps children memorize the parts of speech and their definitions. We are currently learning the 51 prepositions. My students can sing the song and write each word. Recently the students learned all of the helping verbs, subject pronouns, and possessive pronouns. I canʼt imagine the struggle they would have had if it werenʼt for the jingles.
The curriculum encourages students to become good writers. It simplifies the writing process by breaking it down starting out step by step, sentence by sentence. The students learn how to write expository, persuasive, descriptive, and narrative paragraphs and essays.
There are so many aspects of the curriculum that teach children to be clear and definitive speakers and writers. Using this curriculum at Palmetto Christian Academy has been enlightening and fun for the kids. I would recommend it to anyone. Be prepared to be surprised by the concepts your child will learn!
